Returns from a 84-day spell. Closed last campaign impressively when lining up for just the second time scoring a point to point (4828m) at Tinahely. Changed stables over the break and joined the P A Kirby barn. In the mix.

Finished in the money on debut in a point to point (4828m) at Tyrella P2p then could only manage ninth in a bumper (3400m) at Newcastle All Weather more recently, beaten 25 lengths. Right in the mix again.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a maiden hurdle (3500m) at Musselburgh, finishing tenth when partnered by today's jockey Nathan Moscrop. Will strip fitter but needs to go up a notch.

Is a very good fresh performer returning from a 118-day layoff. Kicked off with a minor placing in a maiden hurdle (3100m) at Leicester when last in work. Leading contender.

Beaten a long way last time when sixth in a maiden hurdle at Bangor-On-Dee. Needs to find best form to be any chance in this line-up.

Not raced for three years. Appeared just once last time in and finished 14th in a novice hurdle (3900m) at Wetherby, beaten 72 lengths. Changed yards to the Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith stable. This looks tough and others preferred.

Very good off a break in a maiden hurdle (3000m) at Wincanton when resuming. Likely to measure up strongly on the back of that and is capable of improvement. Fitter again and shapes as one of the main contenders.

Was well off his best when resuming last start, finishing 62 lengths away in 11th in a hurdle (4100m) at Newcastle. Must improve sharply.

Outclassed in both efforts to date, the latest when beaten 34 lengths in a hurdle (3400m) at Newcastle. Hard to have on what he has shown so far.

Five-year-old mare who returns from a break. Wound up last campaign with a eighth on the flat. Tougher class here fresh and not expected to threaten this line-up.
